I went through two warranty replacements before just trashing it altogether. It worked at first, but stopped after a couple of months. It was a miniature laptop mouse. I just figured it was a bad product.

If I was playing games suddenly the screen would start spinning. Sometimes on web pages and stuff it would suddenly jump to the opposite edge of the page.

I did three things:- Made sure the batteries were fresh- Made sure the radio receiver thingie was closer to the mouse- Made sure I used a pad that is specifically designed for optical mice

The latter one, the pad, I think was the ultimate cause of the problem. If your mouse came with a pad, use it. If not, go out and buy a mouse pad specifically designed for optical mice.

BTW, I hate my mouse. It's not sensitive enough and the batteries keep wearing out. I love that I don't get tangled in a cord anymore but all in all I think I'm going back to the corded, mouse-ball type, even though it kept getting gummed up with encrusted finger turds.
